Satellite Tracking Station. Panoramic View. You need to track satellites somewhere in space. My son sat with it for 2 days, building and rebuilding. Here’s what it turned out to be in the final version. Various radars, antennas, transmitters. On the right, there’s a rocket with a satellite, ready for launch.

The magnetic construction set is one of the favorites. We build pyramids, towers, and castles, but recently the kids have enjoyed making panoramas. Arishka (2.3 years old) made the town with my little hints. She really loves the magnetic construction set and has been playing with a large magnetic construction set with 5 cm diameter balls for over a year. Now she has moved on to a smaller one. It’s challenging but interesting – you can’t make her stop.

The author is my son (11 years old) made anteaters with long ears. Such specimen do not exist in nature, but this way they are much prettier, according to the son. We put 2 anthill pyramids, then made trees. The eldest daughter (9 years old) built a pond (in the upper right corner) with lush vegetation. 2-year-old Arishka, of course, took an active part, handing over the details and constructing flowers. The stones scattered throughout the forest are what the round and oval cicadas are then made of. You can read more about the life of anteaters here.
